Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 268

When they turned around, Lin Chen turned around and looked at the figure. This house had a strange, subtle evil aura. It was very similar to the garden he had seen before.

The man was really familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. However, he couldn't remember after thinking about it again and again. In the end, he had to give up. Lin Chen thought it was more important to reunite with his senior brothers.

The streets were bustling with people and cars, the hawking of vendors was heard one after another, and the smoke from the boilers was curling. Everything seemed so harmonious. Until a festive color broke into the fireworks, attracting many people to watch, and children rushed forward to scramble for wedding candies and made a lot of noise.

Today was the day when the Qu family and the Xie family got married. There were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and quite a few people came to join in the fun. The wedding procession had already arrived. Qu Yingying sat in front of the dressing table, letting the maids and old women dress her up. She just quietly stared at herself in front of her.

Thinking back to three days ago, her father let her out with a disdainful attitude, "Behave yourself in the Xie family in the future, don't do anything wrong and cause trouble."

"The Xie family values ​​your father's reputation. Even if your reputation is damaged, the Xie family will still marry you as their legal wife."

"Father still doesn't believe me. What's the point of saying so much?" Qu Yingying thought that her father would comfort his daughter, but his words were full of disgust.

"How dare you!" Qu Huaiyuan was about to take action, but after a moment of stalemate, he returned to normal, "In order to avoid any more trouble, the date has been set for three days later."

Qu Yingying was shocked. It had only been a month, and she had already been confined to her house for a month, but her family was already anxious to send her away: "This is too hasty. I don't agree."

"It's not up to you. Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers."

"Your sister has been implicated because of you. Hand over the jade pendant used for the engagement. This will give an explanation to the Third Prince."

"What if I don't?" Qu Yingying sneered. So this was his plan. How could her father miss the opportunity to become a royal relative?

He wanted to talk to her nicely, but this rebellious girl didn't know what was good for her. In anger, Qu Huaiyuan picked up the cup beside him and was about to throw it at her, "How dare you! Who taught you to be so rebellious?"

But his stepmother who came over stopped him and said, "Master, you can't do that. I'm going to get married in three days. What if you get hurt or disfigured by this careless thing?"

"Calm down, I'll talk to her." The woman smiled, her lips curled up, she walked over, not intending to help the person who was still kneeling on the ground, "Oh, in my opinion, Yingying, just listen to your father's advice and hand over the things, so that everyone will not be implicated with you. In the future, when your sister becomes a concubine, this will also help you."

Ignoring the person in front of her, Qu Yingying's eyes fell on the person who turned his back. In the end, she didn't hand over the jade pendant, and was slapped hard. Her fair face turned red, but she smiled instead.

"It doesn't matter who I marry. I will just listen to my father's arrangements." Qu Yingying gave in. She was just a nice girl, but now she was furious because of the rebellious girl's request to double the original dowry in exchange for the jade pendant.

This so-called father will only treat you differently when you are valuable to him, but will abandon you immediately once you are harmful to him. He will only seek benefits and avoid harm.

The jade pendant was left to her by her mother. She didn't know how her mother got on good terms with the mother of the third prince, and the two exchanged tokens. Later, when her mother was pregnant and gave birth to her, she was seriously injured and her body was seriously damaged. She was kept on by potions until she passed away when she was more than three years old. Since she was a child, she was raised by the elderly people around her mother.

I learned some of my mother's past from the old nanny who took care of me. My mother and my current father were a life-saving grace, and they promised to be together. Then my father went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. The two supported each other, and later my father passed the imperial examination. But people's hearts change. Less than a month after he became an official, the so-called father brought back a girl, who is now my stepmother.

The two separated, but at that time my mother was pregnant and in a bad mood. Later, she was injured during childbirth and was depressed. She was listless and in tears all day long.

In fact, the old nanny said that my mother was a person who wielded swords and guns when she was young, but she later restrained her temper because she took care of her husband and children.

Qu Huaiyuan had been asking for the jade pendant, and he had sent people to search for it, but he couldn't find the token. The Third Prince had sent people to exchange the token, so how could she leave such an important thing lying around?

In the end, the stepmother gritted her teeth and made up the number for her daughter. Seeing how much effort they put into getting the third prince's concubine, Qu Yingying took out the token.

She was smiling until she got into the bridal sedan. As she sat in the sedan, a ring-shaped jade pendant made entirely of jasper fell into her hand. This stepmother was really good at planning. She found a good future for her daughter and took this opportunity to let everyone know that she loved Qu Yingying deeply and that the dowry was extremely rich.

She held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning white, and at this moment, Qu Yingying felt as if a piece of her heart was missing. Tears could not stop rolling down her cheeks, and she tried to restrain them, but in the end, she couldn't help choking up.

At such a festive moment, no one sincerely wished her well, and no brother wanted to send her any blessings. Even if she wanted to send her blessings, her father would just respond with a few words. Whatever she wants in the future, she is afraid that the Qu family will not help her either.

At this moment, I feel like I am alone, walking towards an unknown road.

She had only met the young master of the Xie family once. Of the scene that day, she only remembered the man with blood on his hands but a calm expression.

Although we only met once, he was willing to marry me, which was already saving my life. I was unconscious at the time, and he did not take advantage of me, which was considered a gentleman.

It was heard that Xie Shiyuan had a handsome face, graceful demeanor, great literary talent, and a frank personality. He was favored by the Fifth Princess, who often pestered him. The emperor of the time loved his daughter, and because the Fifth Princess was likable, he made him the princess's companion. Everyone thought that the two of them only needed an imperial decree, and the princess would come of age in a few days, and good things would come in pairs.

The fifth princess was domineering and looked at people closely. She was fickle-minded and fond of martial arts. She often carried a whip around her waist, and all the noble ladies in the capital were afraid of her.

Now that I have snatched her husband, I am sure we will meet frequently in the future. Thinking of this, I became curious about Xie Shiyuan. Could it be that he used the excuse of marrying me as a last resort to get rid of the princess?

I just don’t know who wants to harm me, and my reputation has been damaged because of this incident.

Qu Yingying sat in the sedan chair with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She finally arrived at Xie's house amidst the music and dance outside. According to the procedure, she was supported by others to complete all the ceremonies.

When the couple was bowing to each other, a clear voice was heard. It was the woman shouting, "Stop!"

"Stop right there, who told you to do this, who allowed you to do this?"

Qu Yingying stood there without moving, only hearing the sound of breaking air coming from far away. She fell into a warm arm, and with a spin, she lost control and fell into the arms of a stranger.

The wedding veil flew down and was quickly caught and covered Qu Yingying's head. Before she could react, someone protected her behind her.

"I am getting married today. It is an honor for me that the princess can come." Xie Shiyuan's eyes were indifferent. "Princess, please take a seat first."

Seeing that the man still remembered her, the Fifth Princess Fanghua put away the whip, but she stared at the bride behind Xie Shiyuan, wishing she could go up and pull her out and give her a good beating.

"You are very happy today, I will not interfere," the fifth princess said faintly, "You are mine, don't think you can run away after getting married."

After saying this, the Fifth Princess Fanghua left.
